Congeries of cross connected concepts
Jacob Weisberg is in high dudgeon about the White House’s PR strategy on the shooting incident by Vice President Cheney. Of course, a closer reading shows that Weisberg is really upset that the details of the incident weren’t sent instantly to the White House Press Corps. He rambles on and on about the “public’s right to know” but the only real complaint seems to be the speed of response and who was informed first. I suppose I fail to see the point because I don’t watch network news nor read any major daily newspapers. The blogosphere does a far better job of filtering for me, is usually more accurate, and indisputably far more knowledgable. Weisberg, rather than scoring any points against Cheney, comes off as a furious nobleman who has noticed that the peasants no longer bow and scrape appropriately before him. Unfortunately for him, I expect more people will end up laughing at him rather than snarling with him.
